How An Ordinary Company Slave Became The Vampire Prince Of Darkness 53 Chapter 53 ~ Invitation To The Capital

[ That's right. ] Carla answered his question, sipping the tea s.h.i.+n had serviced her.

[ Can I ask who was the person who treated him? ]

Vlad knows that it should be someone stronger than Arthur. The spell he had cast to Arthur was a lot stronger than he can handle, there was no way someone of the same level as he would be able to remove it. Hence, the healer should be a lot stronger than Arthur.

[ That... They also didn't give me any information about. Hmm... I don't know anything but I'm guessing this person has a high status in the kingdom. ]

[ How'd you say so? ]

[ Well, first of all, only people with strong blood receives unique powers. The heroes are most of the examples. ]

[ Strong blood? ] Vlad furrowed an eyebrow as he heard that word.

[ That's right. Social standings are not just there to balance the rich from the poor, it also does to the powerful and weak. ]

[ What do you mean by that...? ]

[ You see, Vlad-san... There's a reason why n.o.bles are n.o.bles and commoners are commoners. Because of their strong blood, they're gifted with talents and powers only commoners could dream of. ] as she says so, she leaned her body forward, closed her fingers against each other, and looked at Vlad straight.

[ That's how things work here, Vlad-san. You're not a n.o.ble, right, but even though you're not, you still have this wealth. It's obvious this was the result of your strength; and like the n.o.bles here, their wealth was also the result of their dominance in power and talent. ]

[ Is that so...? ] Vlad stares at her as he comprehends her words.

Power will result to power. Like in his previous worls, Inheritance is the biggest factor of someone's wealth.

( So it works like that here, huh? )

[ Un. I understand what you're saying. ] Vlad nodded, satisfied with what he just heard.

( Power equals to social standing... If you have power, you have wealth and respect. )

It was completely different from the rules he knows of from the game. In the game, you have to grind and grind experience to become powerful and earn a skill, yet in this world, it seems that skills are gifted from birth.

Furthermore, only n.o.bles with strong blood will be able to receive such skills.

[ So what I'm getting at is: only a person with a higher standing than Arthur can cure him. There are only a few, but I would say, it has a high possibility that it was a member of the royal family. ]

[ The royal family? ] Vlad repeated the word with a mutter.

( A member of the royal family... If what Carlsan meant with talent and power were skills, then does that mean that the royal family will have many and stronger ones? I mean... that's how it works with my trio... they all have high social standing before they were turned into slaves. )

Sarah was the daughter of a famous n.o.ble family who went bankrupt. Lumi was the daughter of their tribe pack, and Nina was the daughter of their tribe's chief.

The three of them have their own unique skills. In particular, Lumi's 'Hunter's Bow,' and Nina's 'Predatorial Instincts' he had access to when they became his slaves.

[ Carlsan. What about the hero's party? They all have said that they're n.o.bles but I don't recall them being a member of the royal family... ]

Vlad was reminiscent of the heroes. He wasn't interested enough with them to want to know their unique skills, but he had asked still.

[ Ohh... There is one. While Caiden, Alicia, and Arthur's family have a strong presence in all of the n.o.bles, they will still not be able to hold a candle against Anna. ]

( So... that shy and meek girl is actually a princess, huh? Well, her att.i.tude actually fits the princess I have in mind... )

[ Anna... the healer, right...? ]

[ The priestess, Vlad-san... Anyways, she's the 8th princess of this country. ] she said as she drops her shoulders.

[ Oh...? How about her other siblings? Why is she the only hero? ]

[ Well... For the girls, only a few were trained in combat and are brave enough to be one... While the males of the royal family are not allowed to be named heroes. I mean, who would want to marry their own sisters as a reward? ]

( Oh... So that's why, huh? )

[ What about Caiden and Arthur? ]

[ Yes, they're both guaranteed to marry a princess. And they also can still marry other smaller n.o.bles and commoners if they will. ]

( That makes me a little jealous... I mean, I have Stella and Ayla, but other than my own summons... I think my slaves would be okay with it... But I don't want to be a b.a.s.t.a.r.d about it... I mean, they were still traumatized by their previous masters... )

Not a month had yet to past since Vlad had bought off his slaves; he's still careful on how to treat them. That was why he's keeping their work minimum and he never stresses them.

[ Then, how about you, Carlsan? Are you a n.o.ble, too? ] brus.h.i.+ng off his thoughts, he asks.

[ You can say that. But I already cut off my relations.h.i.+p with my family. I'm not a proper n.o.ble anymore, now, I'm just a very famous and lucky merchant. ] her tone was a bit dejected and Vlad was able to sense that.

Knowing that if he questions her more, she will get offended, and so he did not further the topic anymore and only replies:

[ Is that so? ]

[ That's right. ] she nodded and...

[ Vlad-san, that's all I came here for. I wouldn't be bothering you if I was not asked a personal request from the higher-ups in the capital, but still, I won't force you. If you have any plans to accept the invitation, please inform me; I was also invited, we can go there together. ] she stood up and says so.

[ I'll give it a thought. ]

[ Un. Thank you again for your time, Vlad-san. ]

[ You're always welcome to come here, Carlo-san. I would'nt have been able to buy this place if it wasn't for you. ]

[ Then I will. ] she bows.

[ Un. ] and Vlad nodded and reaches a hand towards her, asking for a shake.

And of course, Carla immediately took and shook it.
